A mediocre YA novel about the eruption of the supervolcano at Yellowstone which ticks off all the most clichéd tropes of the apocalypse novel as if working from a list: immediate formation of unashamed cannibal rape gangs, check; instant descent into suspicion and savagery by most people even if they’re not cannibal rapists, check; hero’s search

Did you read at NetGallery SPEAKING OUT? I promise less peeing. Less cannibals too. But pirates and ninjas who want to date pirates!

No! I will get on that immediately!

It’s as if the author read one too many books where no one ever pees on-page and thought, “I’ll show them!”

Snerk.
